Russian drone hits Kyiv bridge during German leader's visit

cnnbrasil.com.br (Portuguese) —

A Russian drone struck a major bridge in Kyiv on Sunday, injuring two people, during a visit by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to show support for Ukraine. The attack on the North Bridge caused a large fire and black smoke while cars were crossing, with two people wounded, according to Kyiv's mayor. It marks the second consecutive day the bridge was hit, following five strikes on the South Bridge in under 24 hours. Russia had warned on Saturday that foreign visitors and officials in Kyiv would not be safe amid intensified attacks. Merz and President Zelensky are finalizing a defense partnership for drone and missile production, with Germany expected to announce €1 billion in military aid.
